The Turner Ink blog contains rants, bloopers, observations and opinions. It also has handy tips on grammar and punctuation such as colons: semicolons; and full stops. As well as some very useful ‘how tos’. Feel free to leave comments. Be nice though.
Trawling the interwebs this week I came across this little beauty (names have been removed to protect the innocent).
There are three issues that are consistently addressed in our work: client needs, purpose, cost + the site, its context, history + materials, light, volume.
Hmmmm. I’m guessing there’s punctuation missing. Some semicolons probably. Or a comma or six.
But nope, I have no idea what they mean either.

Ok, one more time.
Man is singular. If the wardrobe essentials belong to a man it should be a man’s wardrobe essentials.
Men is the plural of man. If the wardrobe essentials belong to the men it should be men’s wardrobe essentials.
Men apostrophe S.
Like this: men’s.
Not mens. Mens is not a word.

How about this little corker spotted on a sign in my local market this week: ’99p fresh Brussel sprout storks’.
And I thought they only carried babies.

I was browsing through a local magazine recently and noticed this ad for a well known Surrey venue. ‘….perfect for weddings or renewing your vowels’.
